Zone A, Zone B and special zones

People living in Zone A, which includes places like Mount Isa and Cloncurry in Queensland, Darwin and Alice Springs in the Northern Territory, and Broome and Port Hedland in Western Australia, get $338 back with their tax return each year.

Zone tax offset amount

That zone covers large parts of western and northern Queensland, along with places like Kalgoorlie and Esperance in WA, Broken Hill and Lightning Ridge in NSW, Woomera in South Australia, and Queenstown and Rosebery in Tasmania.

Then there 'special areas' within those two zones, such as Boulia in Queensland, Halls Creek in WA, Jabiru in the NT, Coober Pedy in SA, King Island off Tasmania, and islands such as Norfolk and Lord Howe.
